Soueif, Ahdaf. Map of Love, New York : Anchor Books, 1999.
This story is an exotic saga of family and romance. A recently divorced American journalist, Isabel Parkman travels to Egypt to research attitudes towards the impending millennium, but once in Egypt her investigations take on more of a personal note. She discovers an Egyptian branch of the family she never knew through letters bequeathed to her by her mother. Her story slowly unravels when Isabel returns the letters to the sister of an Egyptian doctor from New York, both of whom turn out to be her long- lost cousins.
This story, as well as being a story of Anna’s romance, offers insights into the history of the struggle for Egyptian independence from British rule.
